ahahahahahhahaa No, really, ahahahahahahaha.

When you can't appease everybody, appease the majority. I like you. Keep living.

Gah! Damn this post is filled with so much dribble! Solid evidence? Of what? I challenge you to scour through the 76 odd posts, or at least 1 per user, and find some evidence thats in favour of YOUR argument, rather than demanding that of other people. Fact is, we're not in any sort of...

Heh, nono it's implied, I'm sorry if I come off as overly aggresive. Fact is they're trying to make a sale, and it's easier to apply to the majority. It's misleading in forum discussion and community input, as the ones who have the most to say are generally the vocal minority. For example...

You're the MINORITY. Of all the 22-year-old males I know, I don't believe any more than 5% of them are inclined to argue this point in your manner. Furthermore, as you said,how many would be put off by the developers pandering to your cries for diversity? I most certainly wouldn't want to buy a...

Well said with the examples. I'd like to discredit the 18-34 people being part of the market, as most males over the age of 25 are probably out of the shooter market bar nostalgia (a certain game comes to mind), and when we're marketing games we most certainly do NOT look at the majority of...

Who's thoughts are you quoting here? I don't believe I specified that all games where aimed at this market, but Brink surely is. What sort of a market do you think I'm advocating here? I don't believe I argued that female characters were 'girly' and only for girls, I merely stated that the...

I'm confused by what you're trying to get across here. Weren't you the one throwing a 'hissy'? Expand in simple terms, I am trying to read through the thread but I remain lazy~ Is the '80%' available supposed to be games without a female protag/option to be a female protag? It's oddly more...

Lol, and again: Video games, specifically these genres, are aimed at a predominately teenage boys market. It is a niche intent to try and get sales from female customers. What you've said more or less equates to finding it sad that make-up needs to be marketed differently at boys, which it...

If you want something so unique then why not look away from the big titles? The industry isn't going to shift to the niche market, that's generally the act of small business in order to stay afloat (indie developers, for example).

In response to the OP, when we're discussing whether or not something is going to sell to a market which (in Brink's case specifically) is predominately teenage males, one needs to recognize that there is significantly more of an opportunity for success in having characters that are: -Not...

Top 7? Oh, please, it's clearly in a low 40's. I can't even begin to describe the varieties of pie that are sweeter, more refined.. and how frequently do you get to taste protagonist pie, anyway? Hardly ever! You know why? Because it tastes awful! There's always the chunky bits of pathetic...

I'm not even going to try and dig that up, but the idea just seems silly to me. Woo, copyrighting stuff!

Now this reference I did not really get. I played Overture, Black Plague and Requiem (I regret the latter) and I can't recall it, but it was a while ago.. Maybe Yahtzee was just going crazy from Amnesia?
